Get a Download Error whenever I try to download a PDF with iMac OS X 10.6

When I click to download a PDF with my iMac running 10.6 and Adobe reader 10.0.2 I get the message "/Users/brian/Downloads/Aperture_3_User_Manual.pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.
Try saving to disk first and then opening the file."files download fine with Safari

Update: Am now running FF7. Since original problem I switched to using Preview instead of Adobe Reader but that did NOT solve the problem. That seems to indicate FF may be the problem. I inadvertently circumvented the problem by installing PDF Download 3.0.0.2 just to check it out. This is a great Add-on! You can preview a PDF before downloading - which is a standard feature in Safari. I have not had the "Download error" problem since installing the add-on.

I had to install a new hard drive on my macbook air and now I am getting unkown error whenever I try to login to itunes. Apple support suggested I reset my password so I did that and still the problem is occuring. Itunes and the app store are working normally on my ipad and iphone. Does anyone know what the problem is. The new disk was installed in France coz I am on holiday there. could there be something I need to change in my settings? I need help urgently as I am trying to finish an assignment and need to be able to access and download from icloud.

Whenever I try to print a pdf document I get a message saying there a runtime error, I have adobe r

Whenever I try to print a PDF document, I get a message indicating there is a runtime error, and for me to contact you. My system is Adobe reader 9.3

A runtime error is a computer error that appears in the form of a message box consisting of a particular code along with its corresponding definitions. Usually, a user will notice that the computer becomes noticeably slow before a runtime error appears.
After the runtime error message has been displayed and closed, the software that shows this error would normally close or freeze. In some cases, the operating system will reboot.
A wide variety of errors cause these problems. These include:
conflicts between the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident Program)
currently running applications
software issues
memory problems
and harmful applications such as computer viruses
With this, the procedures necessary to correct this type of error differs from one case to another. If the runtime error you are experiencing were caused by a TSR then you can simply use the "end task" function of the Task Manager.
If you consequently encounter a runtime error that is persistent, the software that displays the error message has certain issues and problems. You can resolve this problem by visiting the website of the software's developer and downloading and installing all the updates and patches needed for the smooth running of the software. However, if you have already installed all updates and patches and the runtime error message still appears, you can opt to uninstall and reinstall the program.
Another type of runtime error is usually caused by memory issues. In this case, it is a good idea to first contact the developer of the application that caused the error message. More often than not, they can provide you with a possible set of solutions. But if their given solutions cannot resolve the issues, you need to contact the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard and ask for a technician or someone from the company who can assess your hardware.
A different type of runtime error is caused by harmful programs such as viruses and other malicious processes. These harmful programs are capable of altering the computer's settings. With this, they are very much capable of generating runtime errors. In order to prevent runtime errors that are caused by such malicious programs, you need to frequently update your antivirus software. If your PC does not have a good software security program, you need to install one and scan your computer for possible threats to the stability of your system and the security of your private data.
What all that means is: There is something in the Adobe Reader that is not functioning properly once it is opened.
The best way to resolve this is to:
1. Uninstall Reader (using the Control Panel).
2. Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe)
3. Run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the installer for Reader 9 (and previous versions if they are still installed).
4. Download and install a new copy of Reader, and update it (if required) to 9.3.1.

I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document “VN622195.WMA” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

I get a runtime error when I try to open itunes, any help?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I get a security warning whenever I try to access anything

I get a security warning whenever I try to access anything - even a Google search. Just started within the last few days and I haven't updated or anything like that. If I click "Continue", I can then proceed - but it's annoying.
Can't see anything to turn off that might help.
Any ideas ?
I'm using Firefox 25 and I don't want to update as I will loose some addons I want to keep.

For freecorder, you need to update to freecorder 8 (http://www.freecorder.com/)
You also need to update wondershare, http://www.wondershare.com/convert-video-audio/firefox-youtube-downloader.html
You have a lot of add-ons that all do one thing (download youtube videos) maybe try to condense to just one that works really well?

I get the following message whenever I try to open FireFox

"microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working"
Hi there.
Out of nothing I get the following message whenever I try to open FireFox :
"'''microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working'''"
Internet Explorer won't open either, but it doesn't give a pop-up or anything, it just pretends I didn't open it.
The only way I can open a browser now is by running it as 'administrator'
I've taken the following steps, none of which have had any effect
- tried the DEP on trick in windows system
- Fully updated win 7
- Re-installed Firefox
- reboot, reboot, reboot
- searched online for solutions
but..... :(

ooh my G#D !!! Norton is Best ! thank all you guys ! ;) im install norton anti virus and my fire fox is workin after scan!!! :))) huuuuurrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?
